Parent and Family Relations

Family Weekend and Family Visit Days

Family Weekend 2018 was September 28-29, 2018. A tradition at Texas Tech since 1936, Family Weekend is a wonderful time to visit
campus and reconnect with your student! The Texas Tech campus is beautiful in the
fall, and there are many activities for families to enjoy during the weekend. We
will post the date for Family Weekend 2019 here and in the Parent & Family eNewsletter
in Spring 2019.

to preserve and interpret ranching history.With 30 of its 49 historic structures between 100 and 177 years old, the historical

Started in 2013, the Parent of the Year Award is a more recent tradition added to
Family Weekend. Students have the opportunity to nominate their parent, guardian,
or grandparent who has impacted the student's life significantly, both personally
and academically. This is a chance for Texas Tech to recognize the parents who contribute
to the success of our students. The award is presented to the winners during Family
Weekend on the field of the Jones AT&T Stadium.
